Greatest Book of Love Poems by Broughton

This book is the chronicle of an overwhelming passion and the transformations it inspired.  It is a collection of physical and metaphysical love songs to the beloved, the world, and to the visions of a man’s future.  It is an alleluia to the surprises and the sublimities of sexual love, offered with praise and joy.

We’ll likely be quoting from this book all month, as it’s just filled with love poems, and therefore in line with our Big Joy Spark theme.  But we wanted to give you a little taster to start out the month, and a heads-up in case you wanted to order it for your sweetie!  (Click on the book to buy it on Amazon.) It’s filled with just the kind of poems you want to read aloud… perhaps on a comfortable bed next to your beloved!

In our film, Edward Field says, “James’ love poems he wrote for Joel are the greatest love poems of the era, and for those alone he should be famous.”
